Exhaust Options - GM or Aftermarket?
GM has a 25% off purchases of $900 or more, and I was looking at the Borla exhaust offered for the Stingray. I have the Z51 Performance exhaust already, but I am wondering how much of a difference this is as compared to an aftermarket option. I want my exhaust to be deeper and louder but not obnoxious. Even after the discount, it's just short of $5k, including shipping and installation, but it would keep my exhaust under warranty, especially since I only have just over 600 miles on the car.
I couldn't find much when searching on this outside of an older thread, and there don't seem to be any videos.
Do you think this is worth it or should I go aftermarket?

Thank you. This is exactly what I was thinking and worrying about. If I spent this much, would it make a noticeable difference, or would I just want to upgrade again, wasting that money?

I had NPP and just install a Corsa (sport?) system on mine. So much better. Only thing that sucks is every time it goes in the V4 mode the car gets quiet as hell. Loud quiet, loud quiet...
Really wishing I could disable AFM right now. It did it with the stock also but it's more noticeable with a louder aftermarket exhaust.

I see you're in Shelbyville - I'm just in Bardstown! Nice

I did the same thing last year when it was on sale. I went with the carbon fiber tips. Only thing I added was the Blue Attack air filter. I think it sounds great, definitely louder and no CEL. Other biggie is Im still under warranty. Not sure how much power was achieved but the tack seems to move quicker on the top end and seat of the pants seems slightly quicker. Performance exhaust sounded OK but this is much better. Any louder and it would be annoying. Everyone has their tolerances for noise so if you have a chance to listen to others I suggest you do that. Bottom line sounds awesome when you step on it!!!!!!!!!!!!

A buddy of mine (local) had the Borla S-Type installed on his 2022 and his fiancee's 2023, but said he wishes he would have gone with the GM version instead but it was backordered at the time and he didn't want to wait. His words...just passing them along.
In order of popularity of the Borlas, at least on this site & YouTube, I'd unscientifically rank them:
- ATAK
- S-Type
- GM

I have it, but my opinion is irrelevant here since I also have headers + cats
